303 hitter with 13 hr in 2021. I guess was injured last year.

Maybe best friends with Christian Little, we should offer both ASAP.

A big fat no on Thomas. He quit. He wasn't on the team this year.

Creightons ace just entered the portal along with Dylan Young from Vandy. GO GET THE PITCHER NOW!! Dude had some dang good numbers last year and could walk in and be a legit ace for us or a #2 behind Cade.

We really REALLY need that frontline guy.

Kinda odd Young entered. Dude was legit year before last then really struggled last year. Maybe a change of scenery would do him good and help him hit his stride. Not really as worried about position players as much as pitching, but take and process later…

If he's fit and Ready, he's Friday in Starkville. With Cade as a tandem, MSU has premier starting firepower

We don't need a Mendoza catcher

Right now, he'd be better than anyone we have, short of Luke coming back which may or may not happen. Don't need to wait too late and be left holding the bag.

Just FIFY it is "Carter" Young from Vandy.

Seems like Vandy is shedding players, big time.

That's why I still like Isaiah Thomas. He does not seem like a lone Landon Jordan, it's is many marquee players leaving.

This reliever from Nebraska is portalling out. Great stats, so he does not need Foxhall to "fix" him or "get it figured out".

Not 100% sure why we must be vague about guys we may get. Is seeing their name on EliteDawgs going to make them choose someone else? Oh well, I'm enjoying this...hope we can land a ton of talent

Man, if we end up smoked in the Portal game by Vitello, Bianco, Schloss, and Van Horne, I am going to ? kick a lot of rocks.

There are many Rocks to kick out here in the mountains of Colorado.

I survived Polk II and the early 2010's. I can wait out another disaster.

I also digitally recorded the entire 2021 post season, I can manage for a while.

I don’t know where the hell I got Dylan from… thanks!

Not sure why they canned him. He's doing exactly what his Dad did for 100 years there....underachieving.

Well for one thing, he had an awful year with a .207 batting average. He got benched because he wasn't producing, kid needs a change. Portal and NIL has kicked college sports in the n*ts! Just wait like I said in another thread when Mr Alumni buys a player and he gets benched for whatever reason, does the Coach have leverage over Mr Alumni?

At what point does Gotro start getting calls from people like FSU and Clemson? I mean he is an elite coach at an elite school like State. At what point does a team reach out to him instead of going the lower head coach rank?

To me, either of those could take whoever they wanted, but with football being the main sport at each school, how
Much money are they willing to invest in baseball?

We're still on some good pitchers and players. We need a lot on the pitching side.

Agree, Cadaver. I just hope it's legit. B/c we unfortunately need more than 2-3 more SEC-quality arms.

Bam!

Let's get this this done - these pitchers are potential game changers for next season.

Our luck we'll get him and he'll keep having nagging injuries with that neck issue and then require surgery.

I can?t see Fla State making a moveunless they felt like Jarrett at ND would take their job. It?s his alma mater. They will pay his ass.

Maybe Clemson would take a chance on a hitting coach with no HC?ing experience. Maybe they won?t. I still think GoTro to take a smaller head job before a bigger school pulls the trigger on him

Yes, we need pitchers from the portal that are plug and play. Foxhall is not likely going to 'fix' anyone no matter what raw talent they might possess.

I get Jarrett taking FSU job, but wonder what if.....he makes it to CWS and wins it with ND.

Who knows, he could come in and end up being a 1st rounder but I'd rather have guys that have had proven success. This sounds more like we're "settling". Course, he was just a frosh too so who knows.

Any freshman that averages over a strikeout per inning is worth a look

A look I agree with. As for bringing him on, well we don't need anymore projects. We need proven guys that are SEC ready. Looks like the type of guy you slow play then circle back too if necessary, especially now that bigger names are starting to come to the forefront.

Stinnett averages more than a K per inning, Tullar too, KC Hint also

If hitters are batting 270 against at Ball State, SEC won't be lower. A 5.71 ERA at BSU, i bet Jack Walker would be all conference up there.

If you are bringing in 30 guys and letting them try out in the Fall, that's cool. But I am looking for Guys that were stars at smaller colleges like Yeager at Mercer.

Yes, agreed. Could be the kid made a 5 mph leap from HS to College and MSU is on him first.

Unrelated to this prospect in particular, one thing I miss about Butch's pitching staffs is getting people out with something other than Ks. Would love to have a Chuck Holly or Kendall Gravemen in the mix

Stinnett, Tullar, & Hunt weren't FR this year. Dohm had a 13 K game this year. Was used as a starter, closer, and middle relief. We've been on him a long time, so we like him. I'll take him and if he doesn't improve next season he's in the portal. We've got a lot of money and spots open. Kids are going to bounce around with the portal.

They may bounce around, but they only get the 1 transfer immediate playing rule.

Link Jarrett would be an A+ hire for any team. I would hire him over Vitello.

Agree on this. We need some guys that can eat up innings without running up their pitch counts

He's at 97-99 and his stats were much better when he started games. He also has two more years of eligibility. I imagine a deeper look into his stats would reveal some answers.

He has the ingredients to be a "where did this guy come from"? Type player that does really well with us.
